Wednesday 27th January 2021

 

Good morning Year 6. We are half way through the week – well done! Once again, there are many tasks attached to Wednesday because our usual timetable would include Reading, English, Maths, French, Music and RE, all in one day. Please don’t be overwhelmed by all of this and do what you can today.

Here are the tasks:

 

Reading

Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that speed and stamina.

Reading activity for today:

• What do other characters think or say about the main character? Why do they feel this way?

 

English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)

Handwriting

The handwriting poems this week are based on chants. Make sure you slow down each of your letters to make them form correctly. This week focus on having all your descenders below the line and formed correctly (f, g, j, p, q, y).

Summer

Apple – dapple summer

apple – dapple time

poppies red as ribbons

daisies white as lime.

Apples, plums and peaches

songbirds in the trees

summer suns are glowing

picnics, ices, teas.

Apple – dapple summer

pollen in the breeze

thistles pricking fingers

nettles on the knees.

Noses sore with sneezes

eyes as red as wine

summer suns are glowing

and it’s called

Ahhhhh Tiiiiiisuuuueeee

time.

 

Spellings

The spellings for this week are homophones (words with the same sound but different spelling).

• Try to complete the Sumdog spelling challenge before Friday so you can practise hearing the words in the sentences to help you know which spelling it is.

 

Writing task

Can I experiment with verb and adjective openers?

Read chapter 17

Watch the video sent through Seesaw.

You will need the Verb and Adjective sheet at the bottom of this blog.

French

We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

Key French sounds

This week, we are learning weather vocabulary. Here’s a song to start.

Weather vocabulary song

Quel temps fait-il? means what’s the weather like? Aujourd’hui means today.

Hopefully by the end of the lesson you will remember the phrases in the song.

Click on this link and download Lesson 3 with audio – describing the weather.

To describe a variety of weather phrases in the present tense

You will find it easier to do slide 4 before slide 3.

Slide 5 is true or false: Vrai ou faux (vray oo fau, silent x)

Now write the date in your book and the learning objective:

Can I describe the weather in French?

Choose 8 of the weather phrases from slide 3 and draw a weather symbol to go with it.

Then write this question and answer it.

Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui? Aujourd’hui, ………

Here’s another song to finish.

Quel temps fait il?

Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine.

 

RE

Can I describe what life would be like if we followed St Paul’s words?

 

The Bible contains different styles of writing. The New Testament contains lots of letters.

 

St Paul was a prolific letter writer. He wrote letters to many of the early Christian communities before, and sometimes after, he visited them e.g. Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi and Colossae. He wrote to explain his understanding of the Christian faith.

One of them was from ‘1 Corinthians 13: 4-7’ where Paul writes about the power of love:

 

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not become angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always continues strong.

This video may help in understanding this letter from St Paul, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 – it actually begins at 3.00 minutes

 

If this passage was taken seriously by world leaders, or people in your town/village, or in your class, what would life be like?

 

Your task: To write a paragraph or two of the answers to these questions:

• What would you class be like if this was taken seriously? Would things change? Give me an example.
• What would your village/town be like if this was taken seriously? Give me an example. How would that change make you feel?
• What if world leaders took this seriously? What would the world be like? How would everyone feel?
